Summer is finally winding down and we can begin to look forward to cooler weather along with the foods of the seasons and Fall and Winter holidays and festivities. When I think of this time of year, I think of pecan pie and apple cider. I decided to whip up a combination of the two and came up with a pecan pie dump cake with a yummy warm apple glaze topping.

To help you out with your baking, MARS has a great sweepstakes. Enter for the chance to win a KitchenAid® Mixer in the #BakeInTheFunSweepstakes!

I got all my ingredients at my local Walmart. At the top of my grocery list I made sure to add a Pillsbury™ cake mix, some Snapple®Apple and Mott’s® applesauce, along with a bag of M&M’s® Pecan Pie chocolate candies.

For glaze, heat 1 cup Snapple® and ½ cup butter in saucepan over medium to low heat. While mixture is heating, mix cornstarch or arrowroot with the 3 tablespoons of Snapple® and mix until it becomes well blended and smooth. Add to hot liquid in pan and stir until mixture thickens to desired consistency.

To serve, place a slice of cake onto plate and drizzle with warm glaze.

If you would like to give this dump cake as a gift, you can include a Fall themed gift card.

It’s easy to do.

Print out template (below) on card-stock

Cut out the leaves

Cut a piece of card-stock (any color you like, but make it light enough that you can write a note on the inside) to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″

Fold in half

Add 3 leaves on outside

Add 4th leaf on inside and sign

I sponged the edges of my card to add a little pop. This is totally optional.

While the name dump cake isn’t very appealing, this cake looks so good! The ingredients are interesting and I would really love to see what it tastes like! I will definitely have to make this soon, thanks for the recipe share!

LOL – It just refers to dumping all the ingredients in at one time, but you’re right…doesn’t sound all that appealing. This cake has a consistency that is more like a bar cookie. Good with or without the top glaze.
